WARRR NOW!

 This has been requested for a long while now, so let's get to it and hereby declare...

Written by  Roger L. Reyes and illustrated by Ramon G. Lugue, WARRR NOW! (additional RRR's optional) ran in Space Horror Comix (published by Graphic Arts Service, Inc.) from issues 82 to 113 (August 14, 1989 - March 25, 1990).

Narrated by a sinister-looking host, the series chronicled the ongoing WARRR between the heroic Masters and the evil Sorcerers over control of the universe.  The characters and premise may seem like something from a Saturday morning cartoon of the time, but since it was being printed in Space HORROR Comix, it wasn't exactly kid-friendly fare.

Yeah, this was the TAMEST image I could find.

THE MASTERS

Based in Crystal Land (which is not an amusement park), the Masters are led by Earthman Joe Acosta.  Their members include the female warrior Master Ziva, the ghost-like White Lady, the--um, star-headed Star Head, the patriarch Ama ("Father"), and a bunch of other guys whose names I don't know.

THE SORCERERS

Hailing from the Red Planet, the Sorcerers are initially--um, headed by Triple Head, who is later succeeded by butterfaced sorceress SorcilaShadow Woman is a half-human/half-Sorcerer whose allegiance is often conflicted.  Other Sorcerers include the self-explanatory Four Eyes, Devil Child, Bad Spider (who is basically Venom), and a bunch of other weirdos.
